I have looked this question up. It is about vocabulary. We should choose the best meaning for "superficial". The complete question is the following:
His neighbor's "superficial" remarks trivialized their argument over the line separating their properties and infuriated Winston.
A. enraged
B. insulting
C. petty
D. misleading
Answer:
The best option for the meaning of "superficial" as used in the sentence is:
C. petty
Explanation:
If we qualify something as being superficial, we mean it lacks depth. Thus, a superficial remark is a shallow, unimportant statement. In that sense, we can practically say that "superficial" and "petty" have the same meaning. "Petty" refers to something small, unimportant, insignificant. In the sentence we are analyzing here, someone's silly, unimportant remarks made someone else angry because they (the remarks) made the argument seem trivial.
I would say that a person who is dogmatic does use the defensive behaviour of certainty and that such a person is answering only from the dogma that he/she knows and not being spontaneous and dealing with the topic in a living way in a way that is open to the world and seeing the other person's point of view that though one may not agree with another point of view one should at least respect it.
